Form & Verdict
Has won two of four attempts here, the latest when just lasting home over 3m1f+ last month (first time in a visor, made all): 4lb rise still leaves him on a viable mark if the headgear works again.

Form & Verdict
Nearly two years since he gained his two wins but has returned to some sort of form in latest two starts, both over C&D; no match for Tico Times latest but should finish closer to that rival on 7lb better terms; bit more needed but not out of it.

In good form last summer but has been pulled up in both starts this season, after a break; had wind surgery since his effort here a month ago and needs that to have rectified matters.

Form & Verdict
Two of his three wins have come over C&D and shrugged off some moderate efforts when making all to score decisively in the second of them, six weeks ago; 6lb higher but could be hard to catch if in the same form.

Safely held on all three outings this year but heavy ground would not have been in his favour on last two occasions; has become well handicapped and is of interest now back on a quicker surface.

Form & Verdict
Has never been the easiest to catch right but generally in good form during the last year and landed a fifth chasing success when scoring in good style at Stratford last month, after a break; 5lb rise fair and this very safe jumper makes plenty of appeal on his first visit to this track.
